Video: Shad – Rain

A new one from Shad, shot all over Dawson City, Yukon with director Sam Tudor. Stream and buy the album Start Anew on Bandcamp here.

“As a song, “Rain” feels pretty light on its feet but it’s actually a deep one for me because the inspiration goes back to a couple years before I even made my first album: I saw a vision of a man with an ocean within himself that needed to rain down and nourish the land, or else it threatened to drown him from the inside out. I interpreted the vision as a simple metaphor for the importance of releasing our creative self-expression. And also a reminder that the purpose is always service! As the chorus says: “Don’t need to reign like a royal, we just need rain on the soil”. Some of my favourite lyrics on the album.

“The song was produced by Big Kill who have been among my greatest inspirations for well over a decade. Endlessly creative and BRAVE comrades I first met when I was living in Vancouver. I’ve gotten this far partly because I’ve been trying to keep up with them.” – Shad
